Things that went wrong at your wedding

1) It rained so we needed to choose our back-up ceremony spot (even better), 2) Our reception playlist didn’t work and it delayed our wedding entrance by 15-20 minutes (which seemed like forever) while my hubby was trying to figure it out then gave up), 3) I wish I had my belt sewn into my skirt because it kept shifting around (did ruin some pics), 4) hubby and his best man were sick (hubby was in bed 1st day of honeymoon). Even still, best day ever!!!

Our DOC showed up 2 hours late then 20 mins later went to take a 3 hour nap in her car. Thankfully, our families are all awesome and took care of any issues and we noticed nothing wrong all day. We didn't start hearing about any issues until almost a month later. Guess everyone figured it was safe haha but as far as we were concerned, our day was perfect and that is all that matters.

1. IT POURED. Not just a little rain. Four nonstop hours of thunder, lightning, hail & rain. The power went out at our venue 3 times. We had to move our ceremony & cocktail hour inside.

2. Our florist disappointed me. Not a huge deal, but just not what I was hoping for.

3. My straps & bustle broke.

4. The boning inside my dress was riding up in a weird way I kept having to pull it down.

5. Because of the rain our wedding started almost an hour late (a bus with 55 guests was stuck on the highway).

6. Because our ceremony was late, we had to skip a Polish Tradition we wanted to do during the reception.

7. I forgot to tell our DOC to place our favors on every place setting rather than in a box for people to take.

8. We didn't get as many pictures as I had hoped for.

All not huge deals, it all worked out & we had the best time!

1) I didn't get in some poses that I had wanted but my wedding photos still came out nicely


2) aisle runner and some of my other decor were too much hassle to put up so ended up not but since I've an outdoor ceremony with a large tree in the background it didn't need much decor anyway.
3) my venue didn't let my doc do some things we agreed on but it didn't really hamper me because who cares if my candy bar was on this wall instead of the other, ya know?
4) my cake sucked ahah. The frosting was good (that's all I had during the cake cutting) but the rest of my food was outstanding.

I have to be completely honest, not really much "went wrong" for me! just a couple blips that were fixed right away. THANKFULLY!

1. i left my garter in the box of centerpieces and decorations that i had given to the venue. (then i forgot to put it on while getting ready ugh)

2. two of my tables were missing favors.

3. DOC didn't put out the connector pieces for the glow stick necklaces and bracelets. (funny to watch everyone wave them around instead of wearing them lol)

4. DOC forgot to put our second cake topper on the cake.

5. Weather went from beautiful and sunny to overcast and windy right before ceremony during pictures.

Not anything too bad, but:

1. It rained all day (like, down poured) and we really wanted an outdoor ceremony. It stopped raining like 30 minutes before the ceremony but obviously they had to set-up inside. We were able to get some pictures outdoors, however.

2. Pictures. The pictures we got were beautiful, but there were many poses that she didn't do, she had an attitude most of the day and I was disappointed with how few photos we got (we had our photographer for 5 hours and got less than 600 pictures at the end of it all--most people I know got 3X that much in that amount of time).

3. My husband and I both felt that the head server was rude and moderately disrespectful.

The best man forgot his pants.


..and the shuttles arrived late so the ceremony got going late...but that MIGHT have to do with the pants incident. There was a miscommunication — we had stayed at the house where the wedding was held a few days before the wedding, and then moved over to the hotel the night before the wedding. Best man had hung the outfit in the closet and presumed to leave it there and get dressed there. Husband presumed he would want to arrive dressed so brought his outfit to the hotel with us...and hung it in his closet and forgot to mention it. So, he showed up in sweats. Ultimately some guests back at the hotel were called and able to get into his room to get the pants, but it seems that maybe the guest shuttles were held in waiting for this pants rescue mission, as the guests arrived a little late and we got off to a late start. Extra bummer because we had a hard end time and had to be out of the place by a certain time so we lost like a half hour of party time. But, still thrilled that the worst thing to happen was ultimately really just a funny story!

Oh LOL I completely forgot— I walked down the aisle in silence 🤣🤣 . Something went wrong with either the song or equipment but when my DJ went to switch from bridal party aisle song to bride aisle song...nothing happened. The dj was gesturing at me but I couldn’t figure out if he was waving me to wait for a minute or to just walk, so after a minute of hesitation, I just went for it.
I was later recounting the tale to friends and they were like “really? There was no song? I didn’t notice that at all!” (They did however notice my long pause...and just presumed I was waiting for dramatic effect, Lolol)

Our photo booth shut down 20 minutes early and our florist forgot 2 of the bridesmaids bouquets. Luckily my bridesmaids were quick thinkers and they took my ”anniversary dance” bouquet and split it into 2. No one knew the difference, including me! No one told me what happened until after the wedding!

1) We we're trying to reuse all our flowers from the ceremony to the reception hall. And the main flowers on our mantel was suppose to be moved to our sweetheart table after to the ceremony. However our DOC forgot so we had a naked table the whole night

2) My dress was so tight I didn't enjoy the night like I hoped

3) I didn't taste anything on my dessert table expect the small piece of cake from our cake cutting

4) Because of my dress being too tight I didn't enjoy our dinner

5) I didn't try any of the wine we ordered nor received any leftover food

But, it was still the best day ever

So, everyone said something would go wrong. Everyone comes on here and says something went wrong...

Neither DH nor I are aware of *anything* going wrong, which is starting to freak us out a little.

(Though, recently, one of his aunts confessed that his *other* aunt drove the first aunt to drink before the ceremony even started. So, I guess that's the family drama?)

1. My venue owner turned into a complete A-hole the day of and made my H and his GM rip up a dance floor that we didn't want. (we had chosen a different space for the dance floor).

2. One of my BM's had a little meltdown over her hair, we fixed it and she was beautiful as always.

3. My mom got really drunk at the cocktail hour and told my brother off - no one knew but him and two of my cousins who happened to be sitting there. She then proceeded the get sick when he got her in the car to take her back to the rental house, she missed the rest of the reception and peed in a closet that she thought was a bathroom....face palm... she really is not a drinker or a jerk so this is so out of character.

4. My in-laws for some reason thought it was would be a good idea to wear their sunglasses down the aisle (it was cloudy) the pics look ridiculous.

5. When I arrived at the venue my H was still in shorts and was running all over the place because of our venue owner.

6. We didn't get pics with our parents other than group pics. no mother son no mother daughter pics that makes me sad.

Honestly none of it mattered. We did miss some pics but we can't go back so I can't dwell.

We were out of town and I tried to order a cake thru Walmart because "No one remembers what the cake looks like anyways" and I was wrong because EVERYONE remembers ours now 🤣🤣

They said they would make it fancy instead it was literally just a white sheet cake with "Congratulations Mr. and Mrs last name" We laughed so hard.... my maid of honor however was not as impressed! Hey at least we brought a cake topper?

Other things went wrong that I can no longer remember I'm sure of (like our photographer went to the wrong hotel but it was fine we still got the pre-wedding photos we wanted) it all worked out in the end or it didn't but we laughed it off anyways because we are happy to be married!

Our wedding coordinator wouldn’t let my husband walk down the aisle. She sent literally everyone down the aisle, minister, groomsmen, bridesmaids, flower girl, ring bearer and parents, and was still telling him not to walk. Then she called me down the stairs. He looked at her and ran out the door and down the aisle, ignoring her telling him to wait. He was the last one down the aisle before my father walked me down. He was pissed. I was livid. We were not planning a first look, and if we were, it would not have been after the bridal party made their way down the aisle while our guests waited. Completely ruined it for us. The rest of the ceremony/reception went off without a hitch though!

My cake arrived at 10 am and wasn’t suppose to be there till 2pm... so thankfully our venues kitchen had a fridge to fit it at the time. Also the DJ didn’t announce for people to come get cake after the cake cutting and no one passed it out. So not many got cake. We ended up taking a lot home. Ohh and I totally forgot my guest book as well as these cute little jars for guests to write their wishes and some date ideas. Thankfully our wonderful event designer had a guest book just in case and had it out for everyone to sign before I even realized I forgot mine.

We had our wedding in Cabo a couple weeks ago and it was amazing...BUT I can’t get over a few things ha ha The big one was my dress. I didn’t get it altered properly so it didn’t fit right. I was worried about the top all night (it was strapless), ended up last minute having to wear a strapless bra to try to help but my dress had sheer sides so you could kind of see it, and it rode up in the back so was visible for some of the night. But the biggest regret is I didn’t show anyone how to bustle my dress beforehand and I didn’t realize it was wrong alllll night long! Like completely wrong and I can’t believe I didn’t notice ha ha


I am so grateful and happy with how it all went though so I can’t wait until these things don’t ‘bug’ me anymore

Our florist delivered flowers to the church rather than the hotel which caused photography to fall behind schedule because we had to wait for bouquets to arrive for pictures. Thus, I didn't get many bridal portraits

Not a big deal, because nine months in and I have looked at the pictures a handful of time and have yet to create an album.
